"The visitors thought they had done just that when Zan Vipotnik opened the scoring, only for the strike to be disallowed for offside in the first half. But Birmingham amassed a staggering 23 shots, and their goalmouth pressure eventually paid in the fourth minute of added time, when substitutes Lyndon Dykes and Patrick Roberts combined, with the former heading in a dramatic winner to get their season back on track."
"Meanwhile, Queens Park Rangers continued their ascent, after they recorded a 1-0 win over high-flyers Stoke City at Loftus Road. The Hoops, who cruised past Wrexham with a 3-1 victory last time out, broke the deadlock in the 75th minute, as Harvey Vale curled in a lovely effort from just inside the box. Stoke mounted a late siege on the hosts' goal, with Liam Morrison making a spectacular goal-saving clearance off the line, denying Aaron Cresswell."
Birmingham City ended a three-match losing streak with a stoppage-time 1-0 victory over Swansea City at St. Andrew's. The hosts had failed to score in recent defeats to Leicester and Stoke and had been eliminated from the EFL Cup by Port Vale. Swansea sought momentum after a late 3-2 cup win over Nottingham Forest, and thought they had taken the lead through Zan Vipotnik before the goal was ruled out for offside. Birmingham produced 23 shots and won in the fourth minute of added time when Lyndon Dykes headed home from a Patrick Roberts delivery. Swansea's seven-match unbeaten run ended, and Birmingham sit just outside the play-off places.
